After winning the 2008 Kiss & Miller Lite Battle of the bands, the band grew quickly into a local success. The band gained early airplay with songs such as "Make Define" and "Pulse" and began to share the stage with bands such as Chevelle, 10 Years, Powerman 5000, Tantric, Adema, Cold and many more.
In 2010, the band began recording for it's first full-length record, scrapping it's previous material, and starting from scratch in an effort to create the perfect balance between energy and melody. A musical cocktail that can be heard on the album's first two releases "Mask" and "Break Away." To capture their sound, they enlisted producer Bryan Scott of Cult To Follow/Union Underground fame. The debut album, entitled "Things That Make You Scream" is set for release on September 27th, 2011, and is expected to be followed by an extensive tour schedule.

Memory of a Melody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The memories formed between us? Before the sin. (Before the sin)
You should remember, that you've been dishonest
And you will regret this. I won't forget. (I won't forget, I won't forget)
Yet I won't be the one to break, won't be the one to save you,
From all of your mistakes and so I break away
Sick of it, all of this. You're a hypocrite. Stand up tell me face to face.
Now you remember, fate brought us together.
Lately it's been harder to fight and forgive.
And I remember watching you.
But you're just blind to see me there.
Your solitude, is your biggest nightmare.
I won't be the one to break, won't be the one to save you,
From all of your mistakes and so I break away
Sick of it, all of this. You're a hypocrite. Stand up tell me face to face.
My repent is all you get, your consequence, lonliness
Yea
Yea
I won't be the one to break, won't be the one to save you,
From all of your mistakes and so I break away
Yet I won't be the one to break, won't be the one to save you,
From all of your mistakes and so I break away
Yet I won't be the one to break, won't be the one to save you,
From all of your mistakes and so I break away
Sick of it, all of this. You're a hypocrite. Stand up tell me face to face.
My repent is all you get, your consequence, lonliness
The song "Break Away" by Memory of a Melody is a powerful reflection on a relationship that has gone sour. The opening lines lament the loss of innocence and the memories formed between the two individuals before "the sin," suggesting that something has happened to damage the once-healthy connection between them. The singer then confronts the other person, accusing them of dishonesty and warning that they will regret their actions. Nevertheless, the singer asserts that they will not be the one to save the other person from the consequences of their mistakes but instead chooses to break away from the toxic relationship.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly bitter and resentful. The singer calls the other person a hypocrite and demands that they own up to their mistakes face to face. The chorus repeats the message that the singer will not be the one to save the other person, and that their only consequence is loneliness. The final lines of the song suggest that the two individuals were brought together by fate but that their inability to fight and forgive has ultimately driven them apart.
Overall, "Break Away" is a powerful meditation on the difficulties of relationships and the feelings of betrayal and loss that can arise when trust is broken. The song's lyrics suggest that the only way to move past such a situation is to accept the consequences of one's actions and move on.
